This groundbreaking work presents the concepts of apostasy and perseverance in light of recent interpretative and intertextual methods. Oropeza argues that the Pauline letters include warnings to congregation members who are in danger of falling away, and Paul often considers these members to be authentic converts to the early Christian message. A prime example of this is presented in the apostle's use of the ExodusÐwilderness traditions in 1 Corinthians 10:1Ð13. In an effort to persuade congregation members against apostasy, Paul echoes examples from the Hebrew Scriptures and Jewish traditions regarding Israel's divine election and punishments. The Corinthians are exhorted against conducting themselves in a manner that parallels the ancient Israelites who, after crossing the Red Sea, were rejected by God in the wilderness because they murmured and committed vices such as idolatry and sexual immorality. Paul cautions the Corinthians that if they commit such vices in their own spiritual journey, they will suffer divine judgment before the culmination of the eschaton. These warnings are located within larger rhetorical arguments related to the problems of meat sacrificed to idols, congregational factions, and misperceptions about the end times. Oropeza also interprets passages on apostasy and perseverance in Paul's other letters, and he interacts with theological perspectives associated with the perseverance of the saints, including Calvinist and Arminian traditions. His work provides a fresh alternative to this theological controversy.

This book was birth out of a need for the church to give an account for the people that have fallen away from the body of Christ due to church hurts. We are in the last days and the word of God says that judgment will begin in the House of God. I am not judging, I am just trying to be one crying in the wilderness for the body of Christ to STOP. I was tired of ministering to people with church hurts and or talking to those that have fallen away due to church hurts and hearing them say the church is full of hypocrites. We know that this is not true, but the old proverbial saying “one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch” pushes us as a body of believers in that bunch and we have to bring a dividing line between the bad apples and the good. And make the bad apple accountable and even give them a chance to right some wrongs while yet in the land of the living before judgment. How can we draw the sinners into God amazing grace when we have inside hurts greater if not worse than the worlds pressures itself?

The word ‘backslide’ literally means to ‘turn back’ or ‘turn away’ from God, our first love, or the Word of God to satan, the world, the flesh, or evil. Backsliding is a sliding back. Though backsliding is not sudden in onset, it may escalate rapidly. Backsliding is different from falling away or apostasy, which is the extreme end of backsliding. Apostasy or falling away is the act or state of rejecting the Christian Faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. But backsliding has to do with going into sin, getting lukewarm, leaving your first love, living in compromise and worldliness, and such things. It is a sliding back − a going back − from our former good state.
